To Kath,
well, i'm saying all this in order to make the phone to use the songs for ringtones. I know that .wma is better than .mp3, as .ogg is better than .wma
But the PC Suite makes the mp3s really small in this strange .wav format. And the other things is that, this BLUE SOLEIL And FExplore - i haven't tried neither one of these applications, but i prefer using the original Suite, as it's safer for the phone and not to mess with the settings. It asks me where to put the file (phone or card) every time i transfer anything. so i don't quite get what seems to be the problem with these guys, not able to put stuff on their cards....just use the original software, that's it...don't be such wiseguys...

to Georgi...
ok, abotu mp3, but maybe thats too much to do n im telling u, wma sounds better so why not just install wmaplus and convert mp3 files to low bitrate wma with MP3 WMA CONVERTER
i myself dont use PC suite, but a program called BLUE SOLEIL (this works very well, but i guess its much more simple with FEXplorer :P n no more prob with putting songs on MMC either)

Hi kath,one more thing.In order to receive large files via ir or bluetooth,change the message memory into memory card.,go to messaging>options>settings>other>memory in use,change it into mmc memory.

To Kath & evilinside,
Hi guys, i've been using this phone for more than 2 years and i'm still in love with it. But it has it flaws, no doubt about it. As for your dispute, I can only say that there different software that fix all of these problems (except for the speaker problem, i have it too, it's far too weak). For the mp3s, well, there is no way to make the phone to play such a file as a ringtone, but you can play it just for the music. In order to use it for a ringtone (yes, it's possible) there is this way: i guess you all have the Nokia PC Suite for 6600. You install it, you connect your 6600 via Bluetooth or cable (i don't know anybody who has bought that cable..it's something like 60 euro..). When you've connected your nokias you should go to data transfer and there, if you drag'n'drop a mp3 file you should be asked if you want to convert and transfer the file. In that case, you put the song on you phone in a .wav format (not the usual .wav anyway...much smaller). When you've done so, you can put the desired song as a ringtone and it works just fine. I have 8 songs on my phone, 7 of them on the card and one on the phone memory, they all work great, no problems with loading them when the person rings. As for the second problem i know something about: the memory card copying. I don't understand how people can only put files on the phone and not on the MMC card !! Do you use the PC Suite ?? If you do - doesn't it ask you for the location, where you wish to transfer the file ?? Because it asks me and whether i want - i choose the card and that's it. Nice and simple. Once i tried to use the bluetooth profile, without the PC Suite, for transfering files. Well, it gets pretty messed up, the phone directories are so many and strange and i messed it all up, so i had to reinstall my firmware, but that's not very hard to do...search google and you'll find the neccessary how-to !! well, if somebody has any problem with his/hers 6600 - feel free to write me: georgi.pepelyankov@gmail.com

[Inbox] , [Processes], [Tasks].there you must open the "[inbox]" and you'll see all the data that is present in your messages inbox.You can view the data and can cut and paste it in the desired location.Anonymous

kath,
true that if you compared N6600 to 6230, Sony Er K700 or even Sony Er T630. they are much better than N6600. And its true that when you transfer some music thru 6600 the only way is a bluetooth dongle or a card reader. anyway i asked some friends about what you are rantin' and they said that if you want to your phone to stop hanging, and closing apps. you can upgrade your phone but I still don't know how... anyway they also said that the software is present on the black series of N6600.

Hey guys no need of using a memory card reader for copying mp3's into memory card.All you need is an application called Fexplorer.Using that application you can copy files from the messages folder and then paste it into the desired location in the memory card.

HI
(evilinside)ok,so i can accept my phone has a problem,like maybe theres smth wrong with the speaker,loudspeaker n the signal (but really now, did u compare your phone's speaker to a 6230, Sony Er K 700 or even Sony Er T630? Im telling u,they r much better) Still,ive also talked about:
-hotswap : if u dont have an USB Bluetooth device for your computer,the only way to exchange data is by Card Reader,cuz it duznt suport USB cable n Infrared i think ud be better off without.And even if u have Bluetooth,u still need Card Reader cuz that is the ONLY way to put a song (mp3,WMA,Ogg) on the memory card (if u recieve it by Bluetooth or IR u can only save it to Messages n so your player doesnt find it)So what im saying is,u need to take out the card to insert in into the Card Reader and because of no hot swap,u will have to close your phone pretty often (n u might get bored during the starup every time u do it :))
-RAM & processor: also u cant tell me MY phone is the only one which works slow if u have programs like WMA Plus or say PhotoAcute installed.Ive tested other 6600 n they r just the same. Im not saying these programs dont work on this device, but that they work slowly and dont work at all if opened in the same time (im happy they work at all cuz there are some wonderful applications out there 4 this kind of phones :P like the ones ive mentioned)
I was talking about 6630 before cuz i think it is much improoved. I have tested it 4a short while and wuz much impressed, especially cuz it is very fast
Anyways,i hope evilinside is right,that only my phone has some flaws,if its true, ill change mine to another 6600 n all will b good :D

drue,
when you insert you MMC on your phone does it work? if it does... your usb card reader has a problem. if not your MMC maybe corrupted or defective.
